Perhaps this was along the lines of what he was aiming for? (Photo by C-Monster via the LAist Featured Photos pool on Flickr)
The unidentified man in his 50s "had apparently put his penis through the hole of a steel, ring-shaped dumbbell weight fastener, two or three days" prior to yesterday's call for help, according to the Daily Pilot. The Costa Mesa Fire Department's Urban Search and Rescue squad were called in to help doctors at the Hoag Memorial Presbyterian Hospital in Newport Beach with the man's treatment. "The device got stuck, and he couldn’t remove it. The penis had blackened and swollen to five times its normal size, authorities said. In order to remove the ring, firefighters had to use a saw to cut through it."
The patient's thwarted ingenuity almost cost him his penis; the ring he'd used cut off his circulation in its affixed area and causing swelling. The man--described by Costa Mesa Battalion Chief Scott Broussard, as "kind of a wingnut"--had "refused immediate treatment" and had been told "that if he waited any longer to remove the fastener, the flesh in his penis would die." Following the 2-hour "delicate" procedure he was put on psychiatric hold for further evaluation.

I dont even know where to start with this nugget. First, I'm willing to bet this guy was white. Well it was OC so its possible he was Asian.
No, I'll stick to him being white.
Next I'll guess that he is divorced. He not, he will be soon because he was probably trying to get larger for the lady he was seeing on the side.
Third, I'll bet he has limited education. Some high school but not much more.
There are so many angles to consider. I'm wondering how the cut the metal without cutting into his enlarged member?
Very carefully.
He was obviously reluctant to call and get help from some Socialist paramedic service provided by the OCFD.
Maybe an upcoming issue of Make Magazine will show the proper way of doing this.
Definitely a Republican -- nobody else is stupid enough to try a stunt like this.
Ok.. so this guy had the weight on for two to three days? Was he not wearing pants this whole time? Why did he refuse medical treatment at first? So many questions.. my mind hurts... but probably not as much as his lil' workout buddy.

"Why did he refuse medical treatment at first?"
As I say, being a true OC type American he didn't want to call the Socialistic fire dept. to send out some Socialistic paramedic service. That'd be Socialism!!
Then I guess when his johnson got big and black that was too much for him and he decided that he'd risk the Socialism rather than be robbed of his white power mojo.
Definitely a Democrat- needed to try this on his because of a small penis syndrome........
LAdaddy,
"I dont even know where to start with this nugget."
My first thought when I read your comment was: Neither did he.
Well it worked didn't it? His penis DID get larger.
Ah, LAist...setting the bar for political discourse ever so slightly above the CNN.com comments section. You guys could turn a story about a lost puppy into a flame war.
Ok, I'm not even a dude and I still had to cross my legs when I read that.
the worse part about this is if he went to the hospital his insurance would probably cover the expenses for "saving" his penis, yet a woman with a bleeding breast does not constitute an emergency and would ask her to pay for it. then deny her. then decide to cover it. but only after several appeals.
this man is just sad.
